In the past decade Indonesia has made very significant gains in expanding access to

education and providing a more qualified and professional workforce in education across the
country. These gains however have not yet translated into improved student learning outcomes and
it is clear that the education systems which support quality teaching and learning at both national
and regional levels need further development and support. This has been identified as an area where
a strategic partnership between the Australian and Indonesian Government can be established.

What is TASS?
TASS is a responsive, demand driven technical assistance facility
funded by the Australian Government. Working with the
Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture, the Ministry of
Religious Affairs and the National Development Planning Ministry
(Bappenas), TASS is helping contribute to a stronger education
system in Indonesia. It does this by working with the Government
of Indonesia to bring about sustainable changes in education
systems, policies and practice. The program began in January
2017, and will continue until January 2020.

What does TASS support?

TASS provides short term, targeted and high-quality technical
assistance that responds to needs identified by the Indonesian
Government.
Assistance provided through TASS is designed to strengthen and
add value to the Indonesian Government’s own systems, policies
and programs. Assistance may take the form of:
• Research and analyses, designed to contribute to ongoing
education policy dialogue
• Short-term technical assistance to support the Indonesian
Government in areas where it requires technical support
• Pilot activities that test new strategies for improved quality
of schooling.
